ABC 7 Denver

Not that this is specifically germane to this subject, but I expect The Weather Channel to be sold too. Allen has not invested in a pivot strategy for them. Hyper-targeting would keep the platform viable.

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/media/republican-state-attorneys-general-join-suit-stop-nexstar-tegna-merger-rcna343016 Even though this doesn't do a damn thing except delay the inevitable. It's not a solution. Fuck the Ohio AG for being so transparent.

Failing station waiver to keep them? Idk.

And that comes with a pay cut.

Honestly, with all of the new-to-air content these days, who is watching syndicated reruns?

Was this package built in-house?

Maybe I'm not seeing this, but how are these package L3s any different from the Troika package?

Would this be a nail in the coffin for the 10/11PM newscast entirely?

I called this play out earlier. Nexstar won't play ethically, of course.

How is Scott a tool? Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss privately. I just haven't found that to be the case. From Harry's Biography: "Prior to launching TVNewsCheck in January 2006, Harry worked for more than 25 years as a reporter and editor for B&C (formerly Broadcasting). As the magazine’s top editor from 1997 to 2004, Harry moved the magazine from Washington to New York City and shifted its focus from law and regulation to programming and business". Harry is more concerned with profit. Public interest be damn.

I swear they just fired everyone, from the GM to the Engineers and the entire IT team. The website hasn't been updated since the deal closed. It's not even redirecting to http://wishtv.com. WRTV is now just a holding channel and network assets.

Rey Rodriguez designs everything. It will all be unified under a suite of packages designed by him and a SAM package because there is no independence now. Although if Nexstar has their way, all stations will unaffiliate from Network and solely run NewsNation I suppose be know similarly to CBS News stations (e.g., NewsNation Denver, NewsNation Sacramento, NewsNation Jacksonville, etc.). TEGNA Design Tank will be shut down to streamline things. Why invest in anything except the bare minimum while your business model dies and you can eek out more profits? Who cares about public interest mandates anyway? This is Vulture Capitalism.

The graphics will def be dropped though.

Nope! I don't think Standard General is going to be acquiring many more stations.

No. Nexstar isn't in the business of the public interest. Streaming doesn't pad the bottom line. While Nexstar could sell ads specifically for streaming, I suppose they calculated that it was more profitable to pump up the retransmission contracts. They don't care about "localism" at all. It's all bullshit. No indication yet. It's called lying. All corporations are good at it.
